Personnel Affairs & Board Governance Report Summary of April 5, 2018 Meeting
Page 1 of 1
Minutes: Approved.
Testimony: None.
Agenda Items for Information & Discussion:
1. Shared Governance The committee and invited guests from the All Campus Council of Faculty Senate Chairs and UH Student Caucus discussed issues related to shared governance. Committee members summarized the American Association of University Professors “Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities” sections on the responsibilities of the academic institution, the governing board, the president, faculty, and student status, and gave feedback on whether regents, administration, faculty, and students see the responsibilities as appropriate for UH governance; and how the board is doing against the measures in the statement.
It was noted that faculty would appreciate more opportunities to meet informally with regents. A suggestion was made to assign up to two regents to serve as liaison(s) to faculty, similar to how the student regent serves as a liaison to students. The importance of including student organizations besides student government in policy discussions was also noted.
Committee leadership will work with the board secretary on proposed revisions to policy and practices to improve performance in shared governance.
2. Policy on Board Self-Evaluation Regent Wilson gave a presentation regarding Board of Regents Policy 2.204 on Board Self-Evaluation. Proposed revisions to the policy will be brought to the committee at future meeting.
3. Review of “Statement of Expectations for Members of the Board of Trustees of Ohio University” Due to time constraints, Committee Chair Moore encouraged committee members to review this statement on their own, and make a determination at the next committee meeting if the committee should consider recommending something similar to the board.
4. Status of Board of Regents Policy Reviews (Chapter 1 to 4) Administration provided a status update of the board policy reviews for chapters 1 through 4. It was noted that it is the purview of the Personnel Affairs & Board Governance Committee to ensure that policy reviews are done. Any proposed revisions to policies will be taken up by the appropriate committee. Proposed revisions to chapters 1, 2, and 3 could be ready for board consideration by May 2018. The academic and facilities planning policies need to be amended to reflect the Integrated Academic & Facilities Plan (IAFP), and proposed revisions to these policies will be ready for board consideration during late summer of 2018, after the policies have been developed and gone through appropriate consultation process. The review of chapters 5 to 9 will be undertaken afterwards.

Minutes: Approved.
Testimony: None.
Agenda Items for Information & Discussion:
1. Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) Briefing The VP for Administration briefed the committee on the definition and scope of a long range development plan (LRDP), requirements related to LRDPs in board policy, LRDP connections to zoning, the City & County of Honolulu Plan Review Use, and the LRDP process before and after the Integrated Academic & Facilities Plan (IAFP) was adopted by the board.
The committee discussed whether all the campuses do an LRDP; how many campuses do LRDPs for entitlement or internal purposes, or both; the average cost of an LRDP; whether there are any ramifications if campuses do not follow the IAFP; and whether the LRDP is useful and needed in its present form.
2. Approval of Leeward Community College (LeeCC) LRDP The LeeCC Chancellor presented on the updated LeeCC LRDP, including proposed plans for the future and an “ultimate plan”; Waianae Moku Campus plans; and next steps.
The committee discussed the costs of changes proposed in the plan for Phase I and future phases of the LRDP. The LeeCC Chancellor clarified that they are not seeking approval for funding. The committee also discussed whether Waianae Moku will be a separate campus, and deferring action on the LRDP until it can be updated to reflect compliance with the IAFP. It was noted that committee would welcome the addition of any discussion of alternatives to the master plans for the campus, which include the possible relocation of the campus to UHWO or elsewhere.
Action: The committee deferred action on the LRDP and requested the LRDP be updated to reflect compliance with the IAFP
3. Update on Planning for Hawai‘i Community College (HawCC) The VP for Community Colleges presented on the site assessment and feasibility analysis for development of the Hawai‘i Community College (HawCC) on three properties in Hilo, which included: the state of current facilities; original public-private partnership (P3) concept for development of the Komohana and West Hawai‘i Campuses and related challenges; the Komohana site plan and Board of Regents concerns; the UH Hilo (UHH) University Village site versus the Manono site; the new approach and rethinking the need for a destination campus; comparisons of the Komohana, Manono, and University Village sites; and next steps.

- 2% inflation is built into the contract each year. - Increased Out-of-pocket expenses due to: 1) $3,500 expense incurred each year to have the pdfs of the Financial and Compliance reports prepared in compliance with Section 508 ADA Compliance; 2) Testing approach is to visit campuses every other year (with the exception of Manoa). As such, expense increases in FY 2019 to cover visits to the neighbor island campuses.

Dean Emeritus RecommendationDonald Young, College of Education
Page 2 of 5
PURPOSE:The purpose of this request is to provide evidence to support the conferral of the title of dean emeritusto Donald B. Young, Jr.
BACKGROUND:Donald B. Young Jr. started his distinguished career at the University of Hawai’i at Mãnoa in 1971 asan educational associate in Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG) of the College ofEducation. He later became an assistant professor and rose to the rank of full professor before beingnamed the associate director then director of the CRDG. During his time as CRDG director, he wasasked to also serve as the associate dean for the College of Education and later interim dean. He wasnamed dean on August 1, 2012. following his retirement in December, 2017, the College of Educationcommunity of faculty, staff, students, and community stakeholders respectfully requests that the titleof dean emeritus be conferred on Donald B. Young, Jr. for his forty-seven years of distinguishedservice to the University of Hawai’i at Mãnoa, five of which were as dean of the College of Education.The vast majority of the College of Education community are in support of this request. Testimonyand comments are available in the attached appendix.
As this is a recommendation for dean emeritus, for which there is no official BOR policy orguidelines, this recommendation is guided by Executive Policy 9.209 Awarding of Emeritus/EmeritaTitle that governs the granting of emeritus/emerita title to UH faculty members, vice presidents, andchancellors. Members of the Department Personnel Committee of CRDG, in which Donald Youngholds tenure as a professor, recognized that a recommendation for dean emeritus should not comefrom only one of the twelve departments and units of the college. Therefore, the request to lead therecommendation was made to the College of Education Senate, which functions as a forum forprofessional discourse and consideration of policies that have college-wide concern. The senate iscomposed of two elected representatives of each department and division, including the chair of thedoctoral student association and chair of the student association. The task of soliciting wide input fromthe College of Education community was given to the committee on governance as an extension oftheir charge to “establish and oversee a process for the annual evaluation of the Dean and anyAssociate Deans” (COE Congress and Senate ByLaws, line 354-355).
The Governance Committee Chair consulted with the assistant vice chancellor for academic personnelof the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs on a process that would be representativeand fair.
That process was initiated by the governance committee providing a two-week time period in whichtestimony and comments were gathered to inform the recommendation. following is a summary ofevidence that demonstrates why the College of Education community considers Donald Young to be awell-qualified and respected retired dean and how the College of Education community recognizes andvalues his expertise as a retired dean. furthermore, the College of Education communitymaintains/asserts/feels/affirms that Donald Young has made exceptional contributions to the Collegeof Education, has provided long and distinguished service, and is recognized as a distinguished leaderin the education profession.
Dean Emeritus RecommendationDonald Young, College of Education
Page 3 of 5
Donald Young is a well-qualified and respected retired Dean.
In 2012, the college was faced with the prospect of conducting a national search for a new dean.Instead, the college faculty and staff forwarded a series of very strong statements of full confidence inDonald Young to the vice chancellor of academic affairs and a request that the vice chancellor appointhim dean. He was extremely well respected and trusted by the college faculty and staff and had morethan demonstrated his ability to lead the college during his time as associate dean and interim dean.Prior to becoming dean, Donald Young served as the college’s associate dean for research from 2001to 2003, interim dean in academic year 2006—2007, and interim associate dean in 2007—2009 andagain in 2012. As seen in the testimonies for this recommendation, the college community considered,felt, and described that it was his collective experience during his time in various college leadershiproles that prepared him for the role of dean. He had learned from previous deans, and, upon hisappointment, he instilled his own sense of servant leadership into the role.
As dean, Donald Young was and is still held in high esteem for his support of and advocacy forcollege programs. He is a visionary leader, a humble listener, a thoughtful mentor, and a firm decisionmaker. He was a staunch supporter of the Hawaiian Immersion Assessment Project from its inceptionand a strong advocate for its continuation during his time as dean. He is also appreciated for hissupport of The Hawai’i Writing Project, the projects of the Center on Disability Studies, improvementscience initiatives, the Office of Student Academic Services, the Institute for Teacher Education, theexpansion of program offerings of the Department of Learning Design and Technology, and muchmore. For example, the College of Education began to accept freshmen, reinstated its EdD program,and will begin offering the world’s first ethnomathematics program. During his five years as dean,Dean Young delivered at least seventeen official presentations locally, nationally, and internationallyrepresenting the college. He was a constant presence in the local education community, offeringremarks at numerous events in Hawai’i on the topics of afierschool programs, preparing tomorrow’steacher, educational leaders, and researchers, English language learning needs, curriculumdevelopment, standards alignment, and professional development. Additionally, Dean Young broughthis decades of experience as an educator and an administrator to the development and implementationof initiatives that allowed the UH-COE to be a key player in education in the Asia-Pacific region andEurope. Where the college had eight international formal memoranda of understanding in 2012, thecollege now has twenty-one with international partners, including institutions in China, Japan,Kazakhstan, Norway, Russia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Nepal. As Dean, he delivered formalpresentations as a keynote address or an invited speaker about our COE programs in Japan, Russia,Vietnam, and China. Furthermore, while serving as principal investigator on fifteen different grantsduring his time as dean, scholarships awarded and endowment income both increased from 2012 to2017.
As dean, Donald Young was greatly admired for his ability to bring together educational communitiesin productive work, creating an atmosphere of collegiality that was instrumental in building bridgesbetween the Department of Education (HIDOE), the Hawai’i State Teachers Association, the Hawai’iAssociation of Independent Schools, philanthropic foundations, and the College of Education. Hefacilitated and shepherded conversations about various issues surrounding the teacher profession,school leadership, and education research in Hawai’i. The college’s “Be a Hero, Be A Teacher”

campaign developed under his leadership has resulted in other Hawai’i universities and collegeswanting to be part of the campaign through the Teacher Education Coordinating Council (TECC). AsDean, it was clear that he was driven always to increase opportunities and improve the educationalexperiences of Hawai’i’s students. Dean Young was exceptional in his ability to bring togetherstakeholders to creatively address challenges. The networks he established are indicative of the respecthe has earned from a diverse group. His strategy for inclusiveness has pushed the college forward.
furthermore, Donald Young was an exemplary representative of the college to UH administration andthe Hawai’i legislature. A recent successful endeavor was the “Grow Our Own” initiative. Thisinitiative was the result of his co-leadership of the Teacher Education Coordinating Council (TECC),which involved state legislators in discussions of the supports needed to promote quality K—20education in Hawai’ i. At the legislature, he developed positive working relationships with SenatorMichelle Kidani (Education Committee-Chair, Higher Education Committee) and RepresentativeTakashi Ohno (Education Committee, Higher Education Committee). His efforts resulted in legislativefunding of $600,000 for scholarships stipends to recruit new teacher candidates. The initiative isdesigned specifically for teacher shortage areas: Hawaiian Language, World Languages, English,Mathematics, and Science. On the UHM campus, Dean Young is viewed as a leader among deans. Forexample, he was one of the first to answer and commit to the Mälama Honua Worldwide Voyage andPromise to Children. He was also effective in partnering with the Hawai’ i Natural Energy Institute tobring two FROG (flexible response to ongoing growth) classrooms to campus to help alleviate theextreme shortage of classroom space in the college and contribute to data on the effect on usage andbuilding design on energy consumption. And, Dean Young was a staunch supporter of the Philosophyfor Children or P4C curriculum in partnership with the UH-Mãnoa Uehiro Academy for Philosophyand Ethics in Education. He has advocated tirelessly for our college and constantly reminds thecampus and the community that the College of Education is more than anyone knows. He does so bydoing his homework and being prepared with college data and testimony, timelines at the ready,legislative information at the forefront, and backing from college leadership.
The college recognizes and would like to retain his expertise as a retired Dean as a valuedUniversity resource
His ability to advocate strongly, articulately, passionately, and with well-grounded and researchedarguments are characteristics used to describe Donald Young. His leadership style and positive energyhave helped many feel encouraged and supported during their time at the college. Dean Young wasalso one of the best partners and leaders for the Department of Education—open to new ideas,supportive of collaboration, and student focused. Because of his leadership and his support, the statehas enjoyed closer alignment and understanding between the two major public education institutions.This foundational work has created the conditions for a future professional learning network to informsystems change.
Dean Young continuously exhibited great leadership and the ability to work with many differentconstituencies, often with different interests and wants. As such, he can serve as a mentor to others onhow to navigate difficult paths yet continue to maintain positive relationships. His historical andinstitutional memory of the college would be a huge asset to the college and university in years to
Dean Emeritus Recommendation Donald Young, College of Education
Page 5 of5
come. His ability to focus on crafting and embracing a broader perspective continues to serve as an example for others to embrace. There are many task forces and special committees that may yet emerge, especially in light of the buildings situation for the College of Education. The College would be remarkably fortunate to have the opportunity to continue to draw on his expertise and knowledge as an emeritus dean.
Donald Young is looked to by many as a mentor and leader in the field of education.
Donald Young has been a lifelong contributor to education in the state of Hawai' i, especially the UHM College of Education. His sense of humor, his compassion and warmth, and his absolute commitment to quality and the college and university makes this honor so appropriate. He is extraordinary because he makes others feel that they are, too. No matter what he was doing or how busy he was, Dean Young was always approachable, connected, and caring towards faculty, staff, and students alike. His career as a classroom teacher, teacher trainer and mentor, developer of science curriculum that is used globally, and college administrator has been exceptional. He is a trusted community partner and inclusive leader, having forged productive partnerships with other teacher education institutions, funders, public school community, and private school community.
If made dean emeritus, the College of Education will gain added access to his extensive institutional memory and deep understanding regarding the operations of the college and its place and role within the University ofHawai'i system, the broader community across the Hawaiian islands, and within the network of individuals and organizations with whom Dean Young has collaborated locally, nationally, and internationally. And though the college stands to be the primary beneficiary of his expertise as dean emeritus, he can also be a mentor and role model to other new deans and up-and-coming leaders in UH and the educational community.

Dean Emeritus Recommendation, Donald B. Young Jr., College of Education
As a resource teacher at the district and state levels in the Hawaii Department of
Education (HIDOE) from 2011—2013, I regularly interacted with Dean Young at various
venues, including symposia, local conferences, and presentations. He visibly engaged
with HIDOE personnel, and actively sought out opportunities to collaborate and improve
the educational experiences of Hawai’i’s students. Dean Young has madecommendable contributions toward improving education in the state, and deserves the
award of Dean Emeritus.- Seanyelle Yagi, Assistant Specialist, CRDG
Don Young is an advocate for faculty, schools, and education, open to new ideas, and a
great listener. He approaches everything with professionalism and openness. I
appreciated his support of The Hawaii Writing Project - he was instrumental in bringing
back HWP to UH-Manoa’s COE after it was housed at a Community College for a few
years. He has always been willing to meet with me to discuss a variety of things—frompersonnel issues to programs. He was a skillful administrator with a clear vision, that
knew how to execute what he wished to accomplish.- Stephanie Furuta, Faculty, ITE - MEdT
Dean Young was instrumental in building bridges between the DOE, HSTA and the
College of Education to facilitate and shepherd conversations about various issuessurrounding the teacher profession in Hawaii. Through a partnership with The Learning
Coalition, he created win-win situations whereby graduate students gain experience in
the field and DOE benefits from technical and research support for various projects and
programs. This foundational work has created the conditions for a future professional
learning network around the fellowships to inform systems change. I highly recommend
that the Dean Emeritus title be bestowed upon retired Dean Don Young.- Gale Mejia, Program Officer, The Learning Coalition
Dean Young was a staunch supporter of the Hawaiian Immersion Assessment Project
from its inception and was a strong advocate for its continuation during his time as
dean. This project is a prime example of the extraordinary partnerships with HIDDE that
took place during his tenure, as it is not the only collaboration with the department that
he supported. Meaningful collaboration with HIDOE is critical to the college’s continued
success and Dean Young paved the way for that continuing legacy.

His long-standing and unwavering commitment to the College of Education isunmatched as evidenced by his years of service to the college. His historical andinstitutional memory of the college would be a huge asset to the college in years tocome.
- Pohai Kukea Shultz, Faculty, OSAS/Hawaiian Immersion Assessment Project
Please accept this as a recommendation to grant Don Young Dean Emeritus status. Asdean, Dr. Young provided strong leadership that was marked with some distinguishingcharacteristics. One of these was his ability to bring together stakeholders to creativelyaddress challenges facing teacher education and associated research endeavors. Thenetworks he established are indicative of the respect he has earned from a diversegroup. His strategy for inclusiveness has pushed the college forward.

A golden opportunity for us as colleagues and friends to extend our acknowledgementand appreciation for Don Young’s contributions to the COE as dean and as aninspirational educational leader. “HE WALKED THE TALK!”
- Twylla-Dawn Steer, COEAA Board of Directors, Retired DOE Teacher. HSTA-R
Don chaired the statewide Teacher Education Coordinating Committee (TECC) anddirected the content and flow of the meeting agenda. He provided leadership thatconnected public (and maybe private) P-20 educational institutions, as well as with thebroader education community. I believe other COE folks who were members of theTECC included Aaron Levine, Beth Pateman, and Jessica Miranda.
- Linda Venenciano, Assoc Professor, CRDG
I’ve had numerous opportunities to work with Dean Young on various issue andinitiatives impacting both public and higher education. He was a wonderful partner whowas always able to focus solutions to provide mutual benefit for all, especially ourstudents and faculty. His ability to focus on crafting and embracing a broaderperspective continues to serve as an example for others to embrace.

I support the Dean Emeritus recommendation for Donald Young. Don always supportedour teacher education programs by providing personnel and resources for theexpansion of programs/tracks to contribute to the state’s effort to recruit and retain highquality teachers. Don was always approachable as a Dean. He was readily availableand welcomed us if we needed advice on program, funding, and faculty issues. Donwent over and beyond to improve the college’s relations and coordination of efforts toimprove education locally, nationally, and internationally.
- Kuulei Serna, faculty, ITE Elementary Education Program
Donald Young was an excellent leader of our College of Education. He was thoughtfuland fair. He always had an open door policy and supported faculty in their endeavors.He left the College of Education in a stable and dynamic position and making greatcontributions to the educational community. I will always look to him as a mentor andleader in the field of education.
- Patricia Halagao, Chair and Professor, Curriculum Studies
Don Young has valued and supported the efforts of the Center on Disability Studies(CDS). Given the dynamic landscape within an extramurally funded research center,Dean Young provided CDS with a reassuring hand, a calm voice of reason, resourcesto sustain efforts, and a vision about what we can achieve together.
- ]oAnn Yuen, Associate Director, Center on Disability Studies
Dean Young doesn’t just say he cares deeply about his faculty and College, he putsthose words into action. When I was hired as an instructor, Dean Young got to know me(I still remember being surprised he knew who I was and what I was working on) andfound ways to support my work. He made me feel valued and convinced me that I wasan important part of the College. He is extraordinary because he makes others feel thatthey are, too.
- Vail Matsumoto, Faculty, ITE-MEdT
I first met Dean Young five years ago when I joined the College of Education as a juniorfaculty member. Over the years I have seen the many, many ways-both big and smallthat Dean Young has had a meaningful impact on the College community. Above all thecontributions that he has made, one thing that I’d like to highlight is the positive energyand endless support that he brought to the College. In five years, I never saw him losehis smile, he was always caring and thoughtful, and he always acted as a “cheerleader”for faculty, staff and students. This is impressive given the challenges Deans face intheir day to day work. Yet, despite the inevitable difficulties of leading the College, I

- Seungoh Paek, Faculty, Learning Design and Technology
I support the recommendation. Dean Young has been an amazing advocate for thecollege (the COE is more than you know). The knowledge he has of the college that hegained through a long history of leadership is irreplaceable.
- Waynele Yu, Student & Staff, LTEC & RCUH
Dr. Young was a lifelong contributor to education, especially the UHM College ofEducation. As Dean he was held in high esteem by the faculty and represented useffectively to UH administration and to the Hawaii legislature.
- Paul McKimmy, Faculty Specialist, LTEC
While my time working with Dean Young was short, it was so impactful. I will neverforget how supportive he was of the Office of Student Academic Services (OSAS). Heencouraged and helped with my initiatives to increase the number of community collegetransfer students at COE, and played a big role in introducing the College during thefirst ever CDE Welcome Reception for freshmen and transfer students in August 2017.
- Alyssa Kapaona, Academic Advisor and Doctoral Candidate, UH Mãnoa
Dean Young has been long committed to the COE in many capacities, most significantlyas Dean. His contributions to teaching, research, and especially the community areunparalleled. With his support, the Department of Learning Design and Technology hasexpanded its program offering as well as its reach through distance options. We needhis expertise as we continue to move forward with complex offerings usingcontemporary technologies and delivery methods. His perspective will be invaluable andwe will gain much more than he with the designation as Dean Emeritus.
- Michael Menchaca, Professor, Department of Learning Design and Technology,UH Manoa
Dean Young has been an instrumental figure and leader in our college for over fourdecades.

As an assistant and associate professor at the UH-COE, I had the honor of workingclosely with Dean Young on grant-funded efforts of the COE in the U.S.-affiliated Pacificregion. In this work, Dean Young brought his decades of experience as an educatorand an administrator, supporting the development and implementation of initiatives thatallowed the UH-COE to be a key player in education in the Asia-Pacific region.
Dr. Young is highly deserving of the title of Dean Emeritus. Our University and ourCollege of Education will be fortunate to remain connected with Dr. Young and to availof his deep knowledge, wisdom, and care for the work we do.
- Kavita Rao, Associate Professor, Special Education
I’ve worked with Dean Young for nearly 13 years. As both a colleague and then as adirect report to him as Dean. He has continuously exhibited great leadership and theability to work with many different constituencies, often with different interests andwants. I have never worked with anyone that had the skill to navigate such a difficultpath.. .and continue to maintain relationships. He also can lead and direct staff and yetgive the room to do their job and take ownership of their work.
- Mark Fukeda, Director of Development, UH Foundation, College of Education;School of Social Work; School of Hawaiian Knowledge
I would like to add my support for this recommendation. I have known Don since Istarted an internship with CRDG in 1980. I feel that his approachability carried over fromthe days where I first interacted with him in the College’s Bldg 2. Whether he was Donfrom science, director at CRDG or dean of the COE, he has remained supportive of meand approachable. He provided guidance when asked but also trusted me to do my jobwithout micro-managing. I have seen him interact with leaders in the DOE, legislature,and community and can sincerely say that he had our backs and learned to say/do whatwas needed to promote the COE. Unfortunately, some of his visions didn’t materialize,but he kept trying!
- Susan Saka, Educational Associate, CRDG
Dean Young is a champion for the College of Education with an invaluable wealth ofknowledge about the College’s history and its impact on the education of Hawaii’schildren. This institutional knowledge is a critical resource as the COE moves forward toaddress current and future issues impacting education in Hawaii. Dean Young has beena leader in the COE with a long and distinguished career. The College would beremarkably fortunate to have the opportunity to continue to draw on his expertise andguidance as Emeritus Dean.

- Malia Mallchok, IT Specialist, Technology & Distance Programs
With all due respect, it is my kuleana, as a Native Hawaiian, to ask that Donald Young
not be bestowed Dean Emeritus status. As former Dean, Dr. Young has questionablyspent and restricted access to the Native Hawaiian Hookulaiwi Program funds andresources, leaving that program unable to operate towards its legally mandated goalsand objectives since 2013. In addition, he also suspended a search for a NativeHawaiian Leadership Assistant Professor in Curriculum Studies in 2017, under the falsepretense of budget concerns, whereas the COE has since moved forward to hireadditional faculty since that time. Additional information can be provided, if requested.Ultimately, Dr. Young’s actions, in regards to Native Hawaiian initiatives, areunacceptable, especially since UHM and COE have always and continue to pledge itssupport for Native Hawaiian education. Respectfully submitted in strict confidence.

Dean Young is a visionary leader who as co-leader of the Teacher EducationCoordinating Council (TECC) involved state legislators in discussions of the supportsneeded to promote quality K-20 education in Hawaii. His efforts resulted in legislative
funding of $400,000 for scholarships supporting at least 23 students in the College ofEducation through The “Grow Our Own” recruitment, for hard to fill fields. The COE “Bea Hero, Be A Teacher” campaign promoting teaching through mass media, socialmedia, and print developed in recent years under his leadership has resulted in otherHawaii IHEs wanting to be part of the campaign through TECC.
His career as a classroom teacher, teacher trainer/mentor, curriculum developer ofscience curriculum that is used globally, and College Administrator has beenexceptional and should warrant recognition as Dean Emeritus.

support, we saw closer alignment and understanding between the two public educationinstitutions. An example - he supported a fast track development of an authenticHawaiian language assessment for the DOE - a first in the nation. His support for theethnomathematics program with the recently announced masters degree is anotherexample. But it is his sense of humor, his compassion and warmth, and his absolutecommitment to quality and the College and University that I think makes this honor soappropriate as he is such a great role model for all.
- Kathryn Matayoshi, Former Superintendent, Hawaii DOE, Hawaii Dept ofEducation
I had the opportunity to work with Don Young over the last ten years in Don’s capacityas head of CRDG, Interim Dean of COE, Dean of COE and member of the Hawaii P-20Council. I also served, at varying times, on the COE Advisory Council, and Don and Ico-chaired the Hawaii Teacher Education Coordinating Committee from 2015-17 when Iwas the DOE Assistant Superintendent for Strategy, Innovation and Performance.
Don Young led the Teacher Education Coordinating Council (TECC) with experience,expertise, grace and good humor. Don created an atmosphere of collegiality amongteacher education programs, overcoming the inherent competition among the members.During my two years as TECC co-chair with Don, I saw that he led the groupproductively during its monthly meetings and achieved his vision of of a professionallearning community of educator preparation programs and leaders who focused onimproving education and engaging in policy discussions rather than mechanics ofrecruitment and hiring of DOE teachers.
I saw Don’s vision for the TECC come to life. During my tenure as co-chair, I sawTECC members focus on informing themselves to consider how they could preparetheir teacher candidates for new directions in public education, elevate the teachingprofession, and engaging in policy discussions and action to produce quality andquantity of teachers needed for Hawaii’s children and schools. Concrete outcomes ofTECC’s collaboration included: now annual “It’s Great to Be a Teacher” event which ledto a recruitment strategy focused on recruiting substitute teachers and educationparaprofessionals for programs leading to teacher licensure; teacher preparationprogram feedback on Hawaii Teacher Standards Board licensure requirement;development of agreement and process for teacher candidates to engage in viewing
and using their students’ data in clinical settings (DOE MOU and FERPA consents), andconsistent opportunities for teacher preparation programs to learn about DOE initiatives(e.g., strategic plan, ESSA plan, teacher induction and mentoring, new science

Don’s passion, expertise and willingness to engage with partners led many stakeholdersto come to view UHM COE as a partner in improving public education rather thanresponsible for the ills of public education. For me, Don was a trusted partner inadvising educational opportunities for the DOE and a joy to work with. In my new role atUH, I look forward to having the opportunity to work with Don in his emeritus role tocontinue to tackle thorny and important challenges of education from early childhood tohigher education.

- David Leake, Faculty, Center on Disability Studies
Don is definitely well-qualified. He became well qualified because he had so muchprevious experience as an associate dean and as interim and acting dean. Those wereall learning experiences for him. He also learned from other Deans during that time.During all that time, he became a very well-respected individual. His open door policywas really nice. Anyone could come to talk to him and he was so well respected. Hewould talk to anybody, and not turn them away. However, he could also make thosedifficult decisions a leader needs to make. I support this recommendation for DeanEmeritus.

As chair of SPED, he was very supportive of me and willing to meet individually. Hekept us well informed of issues in the community, at the legislature, from across thestreet in UH admin via Dean’s Council meetings. He encouraged individual meetingswith each of the chairs to discuss how to best support our programs. He supporteddifferent programs in SPED and paid attention to federal grants that required supportfrom our College administration. He always provided that support. For example, therewas that MOA with HIDOE for which he was the P1, and he worked closely with us everyyear during his time as Dean to make sure the contract was renewed in a timelymanner, amendments were up to date, full funding was secured, and advocatedstrongly with the DOE for that.As far as his expertise as Dean, it is quite evident. Don is a good leader, a strongleader. I felt sure he was advocating as Dean of our college at Deans’ meetings, UHadministrative meetings, and at the legislature. He advocated strongly for the COEbuildings and with partners for additional resources. He even helped to acquire the twoFROG buildings (flexible response to ongoing growth buildings). I believe him to havebeen a strong leader among all of the Deans at this university. He made sure we gotrecognition that we deserved and was a strong advocate for the college always. Hisexpertise would be very valuable to contribute to the future in working with new deans,

and not just here at our college. He could do professional development for other Deans.His experiences would likely be very valuable to other deans. And, there are many taskforces that he would be good on if he could serve. As the former Chair of SPED, Istrongly support him in this request.

From an international programs perspective, he was always a willing force for thecollege and university system. He represented us well and when meeting leaders fromother institutions, whether with existing or new partners, he had the humility that isactually hard to find in a leader. Prior to meetings, he took the time to understandhistories and cultures and cultural specificities of people we were about to meet. Healways aimed for a nice meeting as well as a productive meeting. He was not ever vainthinking we had more to offer; he was humble and helped our college stake its groundsto what it could deliver to its partners. But, he always thought how could the partnershipcould be good for the college and the college constituents.
As assistant to the Dean, I’d like to add that he is really a genuine kind person. He caresabout humans, which is hard to find. Leaders are sometimes browned nosed to orstepped on, but he had the ability to not let it get to him. It helps with that tone. He hadforesight and was always able to move forward. He was exceptional from amanagement standpoint.
From management and organizational strategy, he’s a people person. He reallyunderstands the importance of people. Even when he’s disagreeing with someone, itdoesn’t ever feel like he is attacking. His thought process and decision making wasalways followed by a fair reasoning, mostly because he does all his homework beforehe makes a decision.

Don was very gung ho and supportive about improvement science. We worked withCastle Foundation to support ed prep stat. He always had an eye to how can we dobetter in recruitment and retention. But it wasn’t only about getting more students, it wasabout getting them in and providing them with a quality education. He co-chaired theTECC (other co-char was the HIDOE superintendent) where he was respected byrepresentatives from the EPP, DOE staff and teachers, and the standards board. At thegovernment levels, Representative Ohno and Senator Kidani worked well with Don.Across community and across the street, the respect was there. I would say that he

mentored HIDOE folks also because he was always open to listening and offering hisinsights. Under his co-leadership, the TECC became more productive and more cordial;he was instrumental in creating that culture of sharing.

I strongly support a recommendation that Donald Young be bestowed the title of DeanEmeritus. Don is an exceptional leader who has held leadership positions at variouslevels in the College. In all these leadership roles, he has shown himself to be acompassionate leader, but firm leader. I think the core of his excellence is hisrecognition that it takes bringing together the right mix of people, acknowledging andrespecting their expertise, and letting them produce something that shines. Though Ibelieve he is deserving of both Dean Emeritus and Professor Emeritus titles, if only onecan be bestowed, it is as Dean Emeritus that he has the wider opportunity to provideexpert and mature counsel on a variety of matters for the Manoa campus and UHsystem as a whole. I believe he would be a welcome voice to special committees, taskforces, projects, etc., that can benefit from his experience and knowledge. He has beenan amazing role model for myself and many others here at the college. As Dean, hewas instrumental in bringing the work of improvement science into the College andsupported my intellectual pursuit of the improvement science ideas. And, his support ofthe revitalized EdD program has helped the program to grow. The college can benefitgreatly from his expertise as Dean Emeritus, but I also think he can be a mentor androle model to other new Deans and up-and-coming leaders in UH and the educationalcommunity.

Dean Young was a good guy. Even though he was Dean and the big boss, he alwayssaid hi and he always said thank you. This was important and special to us. We couldfeel his love for this place and for the people, even us included. We might not knowmuch about expertise in education, but we knew that he was respected greatly byeveryone here. We respected him a lot because he was always respectful of thecustodial staff.

Micronesia. As Dean of the College of Education, Don was invited to speak at theInternational Scientific and Practical Conference of Science Education in the School ofthe Information Age in Moscow in Fall of 2012 which included a paper published inRussian. What Don began, continues! As Dean, he supported the ongoing partnershipwith our Russian colleagues by signing a memorandum of agreement in 2014 thatextends to July 2020. I wholeheartedly support the recommendation to confer the DeanEmeritus title on Donald Young.

The growth of the UH Uehiro Academy for Philosophy and Ethics, created in 2012,located in the College of Art & Humanities, and its expansion into an Academy nowofficially a joint undertaking of the Colleges of Education and Arts & Humanities, ANDthe creation of a new sister Academy at Miyagi University of Education in Sendai,Japan, is a direct result of the active support and involvement of former Dean DonaldYoung. These Academies are directly impacting the preparation of hundreds of preservice teacher candidates and current classroom teachers as well as research bydoctoral candidates and faculty at these institutions. “Retired” Dean Young continues tobe an essential, active part of this initiative as it continues to grow, bringing honor to ourUniversity locally and internationally. “Dean Emeritus” is an entirely appropriateacknowledgement of Dean Young’s past and continued inestimable value to theUniversity of Hawai’i.

I’m writing to express my enthusiastic support for the recommendation that DonaldYoung be awarded the title of dean emeritus. While Don’s list of achievements as deanof the College of Education is long, I would like to highlight the way he valued andsupported every person he worked with over his long career and the valuable role hewould play as a mentor in a dean emeritus position. I am one of the many people withinthe college who owes much of my career success to Don’s support and mentorship inmy early years at CRDG. Many years later, and long after he left our department, hehas remained a highly valued mentor and colleague. Having direct experience this thisaspect of his leadership, I was able to see how this respect and support for everyone heworked with played out in the many relationships he was able to build or strengthen inthe education community, all of which resulted in benefits to the college—to its faculty,students, and programs. Because of Don’s long history in the college and his strongsupport and mentorship for so many people, he would be an invaluable dean emeritus.

I have been a faculty member for 22 years in the College of Education. Although I knewDon as the Director of CRDG, I knew him better as our Dean. Don Young became theDean of the College of Education at a time when morale was low. I’m not sure how hedid it, maybe it was just because of who he is and what he stands for. But, he broughtus together in a way that gave us purpose and a shared mission. He always got theright people together at the right time, and guided by the right purpose to deliver thetight message. Don always brought relevant facts to the table, he brought integrity, andhe brought a listening ear. I truly respect Donald Young as a leader and as a scholar.In my time at this university, there has not been any one person who has made agreater positive impact on our College. I endorse Donald Young’s Dean Emeritusstatus.

Dean Young had a 47-year career in the College of Education (COE). When he wasasked to step in as Interim Dean in 2006, he did so out of his commitment to the COE.And although his previous duties had been primarily in research and leadership at theCurriculum Research and Development Group, his day-to-day leadership as InterimDean quickly made it clear that he understood the breadth and depth of the COE’smission, programs, and value. He was a staunch advocate for the COE and its manyinitiatives with the UHM Administration, in our community, and with the legislature. Inthe wake of the catastrophic fire on the COE property in the summer of 2006, Don’scaring, commitment, and advocacy for the students, faculty, and staff of ALL COEprograms was palpable. He communicated frequently, clearly, and effectively with theentire COE ohana. So when the COE was in search of a new Dean in 2012, the COEfaculty petitioned the UHM Administration to forego a national search and appointDonald Young as Dean. Faculty support for Don Young as Dean of the COE wasoverwhelming and a testament to the confidence and respect that the faculty had inDean Young. And although his preference was retirement, he was responsive to hisfaculty and agreed to serve 5 years as COE Dean.
